Emphysema is a form of chronic (long-term) lung disease. This and chronic bronchitis are the two main types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third-leading cause of death in the United States.

These conditions are called “obstructive” because it’s as though something is blocking the smooth flow of air in and out of the lungs.

Doctors estimate that more than 24 million people in the United States have emphysema or another form of COPD. Many of them don't know it.
